...reach the city. Several people were killed in the raids, which roused the rebel radio and TV stations to a new frenzy. Well-known members of three Communist groups, including the 14th of June, appeared on TV in Cuban-style uniforms to harangue the audience into action. They broadcast the addresses of loyalists' supporters and relatives. "Wessin's sister lives at 25 Santiago!" "Find the pilots' families and bring them to us!" And the mob did. Wives and children of air force pilots were dragged before TV cameras. Warned the announcer: "We are going to hold them...
...Cambodia's foreign exchange, driven living costs to an alltime high, and even scared away a Chinese team of economists invited from Peking to sort out Snookie's tangled accounts. Pnompenh-once a pleasant, easygoing capital-has become increasingly rundown. This fact recently led Snookie to broadcast a wild tirade of threats that he would personally fire everyone in the capital, from street sweepers to policemen, if the city did not shape up.

...time. For seven years at CBS, he and Fred Friendly, now president of CBS News, produced a provocative news special, See It Now, which courted controversy in notoriously timid medium. Their most famous program was a devastatingly understated attack on Senator Joe McCarthy in his heyday. Murrow also broadcast the news for 15 minutes every weekday night for 13 years, beginning each program with the solemn intonation: "This ... is ... the . . . news." Murrow hosted a lightweight but highly profitable program, Person to Person, in which he invaded two celebrities' homes each week to exchange idle but engaging chitchat...
